CHICAGO — The Chicago Cubs added infielder Nicky Lopez and reliever Drew Pomeranz as part of a flurry of moves before Wednesday night's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The Cubs made an early-season move to bolster their bullpen, acquiring veteran left-hander Drew Pomeranz from the Mariners for a cash consideration, the club announced on Monday. Pomeranz, 36, posted a 4.

Left-hander Drew Pomeranz was on the brink of making his long-awaited return to the majors 11 months ago. Signed by the Giants for what he said he knew was only going to be a four-day stint, Pomeranz was warm in the bullpen and ready for the call.
